let's say one of these poor people did have a gun it sure as heck wouldn't be a sniper rifle - give me a break. don't believe everything your hear son.

in a situation like this there will always be idiots that do stupid things but it has never stopped our rescue efforts before - nor was it ever reported!

all these people dying and all the media can come up with is teenagers looting and some idiot (if it even happened) shooting his pellet gun at a helicopter? PLEASE - TOTAL BS!

what ever happened to the GREATER GOOD!

A guns a gun. Who says it needs to be a sniper rifle ?
You must be a fvcking moron if you think these people aren't getting shot at.
These animals are starting fires and rioting. Do you really think they aren't getting shot at ?

So you're saying that nobody is shooting at anyone, then? Since a cop has been shot in the head, I don't think you're really up on the news.

For the record, a "sniper rifle" isn't its own deal - I could slap an airgun scope on my Ruger target rifle, and the media would say it's a sniper rifle.

there is a huge difference between going into a supermarket to get survival provisions and breaking into a gun shop for weapons, stealing sneakers and everything else that is not nailed down.

there is a huge difference.

He and other residents said they heard sporadic gunfire throughout the
night.
Looting broke out in some New Orleans neighborhoods, prompting authorities to send more than 70 additional officers and an armed personnel carrier into the city. One police officer was shot in the head by a looter but was expected to recover, authorities said.

A giant new Wal-Mart in New Orleans was looted, and the entire gun collection was taken, The Times-Picayune reported. "There are gangs of armed men in the city moving around the city," said Ebbert, the city's homeland security chief. Also, looters tried to break into Children's Hospital, the governor's office said.

I for one thought it strange that there weren't C-17 Globemasters flying around NO doing exactly what you are describing. The military has tons of MREs and fresh water on hand, so why not distribute it to the citizens of NO?

Airdropping supplies would probably be difficult, given the flooding. Also, I'm not sure it would be wise to drop large packages on civilians who are not trained or informed on how to handle drops safely. People might get seriously injured.

Helicopters bringing large packages slowly to the ground might be safer.

if it could net me some food or water or information - yeah! not that you'd be albe to use it without electricity though

but think about it... after all this time with so many dying around you you'd probably resort to trying to get some attention too so someone would know you're still their after a week.

no i don't condone silly sh!t but what these people have gone through i wouldn't put much pass them. i just don't see where anyone would justify shooting at people trying to help... not even the most stupid of individuals would do that.

maybe there's some retard on the loose that came across a pawn shop or something

It is not some retard that came across a pawn shop or something.

It is gangs of lowlifes that are breaking into shops, stealing whatever they can get their hands on. They are terrorising everyone around them and there are even reports of raping teenage girls. This is not a cry for attention.

fvcking heartless idiots - no you burn in hell with those type of comments! these people haven't done half the sh!t that's been claimed here! you are the types that will use anything to spew your tasteless venom!

this is total bullsh!t - if this would have happened in a predominately affluent part of NO or any other american city the cops and military wouldn't have thought twice about halting the rescue of the majority of those people who deserved to be rescued!

they would have taken out the idiots (who always show their a$$es in these types of situations) and continued on with rescue efforts! no way they would have let upper class families suffer like this while they sat around the perimeter of the destroyed area keeping the media out! but the story is changing now...

http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm?f=00&g=...e3-4e70f5eff2e4&t=m5&p=News_NBC%20News

...these people were at the convention center for the three days filming and reported a totally different story that had been told up until this point. if you turn on your tv now it's just now making it's way to your living rooms!

unlike you, the majority of these people were acting like concerned, mature adults helping one another and doing what they could to stay alive! but you two jackholes are the types that don't want to know anything but something negative about poor poeple so you can chant your same old tired a$$ bigotted slurs... animals.. kill them all... hang them ther cxxns... grow up b/c it's people like you who will pay for every word you speak when you could have been trying to do something positive like saying a prayer for these unfortunate people!
